Sixteenth Sections.

into public notice by that excellent
journal, the Ouachita Telegraph, the
press of the State has been engaged in
a vast amount of discussion concern
ing the methods that have been en-
ployed in collecting the back interest
due the school boards of various par
ishes, discussion that betrays great
misconception of the facts in the case
no less than q laudable jealousy in
guarding o fund, which "shvuld be
held as sacred as the ashes of the dead"
One of the effects of this discussion
has been to reflect, as we believe,
harshly and unjustly upon the official
conduct of Auditor Steele, than whom
we have never had more painstaking
and efficient public officer.
On this account, and for the reason
that this paper IL located at the capt.
tai, where the facts are accessible, we
feel it, in measure, our duty to give
our readers and brethren of the press.
as best we can, an explanation of
subject that is by no means free from
intricacy.
Along in the forties Congress passed
an act authorizing the State of Louis
lana to sell all sixteenth sections in the
State, the money thus obtained to be
turned over to the public school board
OF the parish where each section was
located. to De used IN the cause Of public
education. The State accepted the
trust, and began the sale Of these lands
all over the State. But while these
sales were being made the war came
on followed 6y the waste and corrup-
ton OF the Radical regime. Some
lands were sold and the State received
the money, others were sold and the
States agents failed to render an ac-
count. So that when the constitutional
convention met IN 1879 there were
large number Of claims against the
State IN favor OF the parishes growing
out OF the sale OF sixteenth sections;
but 30 incomplete and defective were

,nittee and the committee on streets of the
DIV Council held Joint meeting last night
- relation to the manner of procedure in
tina collection of bills for the street paving
dome last fall The collectors were directed
n Immediately present the bills to the
owners of the property along the streets
nayed. aud in case payment is refused, to
ra,nrn the bills to the finance committee,
gho instructed City Attorney Brent to en-
Ter equity suits at once for the collection of
rbe same. As the bills in each individual
case are small the property owners only
having one-third of the cost of paving the
TRAITS. and as the value of the property
along the streets paved has been enhanced
the committee thought the collectors would
find no difficulty il collecting the same.
But as it is certain that all street improve
ments in the city will cease if the property
owners living along such streets refuse to
nav their portion Of the expense. the finance
committee have determined to test the mat
fer in order to find out how, and at whose
expense the streets arc hereafter to be
payed and improved The committees
we're OF the opinion that the property own
ers would have TO pay the bills.

referred to are the responsive reading Of
the Psalms, which form part of the service
